RE: [flexbackup-help] blksize parameters (fwd)

[Niall Brosnan]

Hi Erwan,
I know you've probably tried most of this.
Checking back on your mail of 5 May,
I see:
/dev/nst0: Input/output error

There is nothing flexbackup can do until that is sorted.
What blocksize does mt status report on a clean boot?
Can you run a simple tar to the drive?

mt -f /dev/st0  status
mt -f /dev/st0  rewind
tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc
mt -f /dev/st0  rewind
tar tf /dev/nst0


Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what
you're using in the script.

mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024
and use
$mt_blksize = 1024;

Niall

Hi list and niall 

Can you run a simple tar to the drive?

mt -f /dev/st0  status

- I've already answered 

mt -f /dev/st0  rewind

Nothing too

[EMAIL PROTECTED] flextest]# tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc
tar: Retrait de l'en-tête `/' des noms des membres

mt -f /dev/st0  rewind
Take time but ok

tar tf /dev/nst0
Ok it show me all the tar that I've done.



Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what you're using in the
script.

mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024
and use
$mt_blksize = 1024;

I've done it and do a 
Flexbackup-test-tape-drive but it's not better.

Thanks for all

Niall
